Grounding Instructions - Craftsman 152.211700 Manual De Operaciones

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path
of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have
the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely under-
stand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD IMMEDIATELY.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in
FIGURE A, FIGURE A shows a 3-wire electrical plug and electrical receptacle that has
a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded electrical receptacle is not available,
an adapter as shown in FIGURE B can be used to temporarily connect this plug to a
2-contact ungrounded receptacle. The adapter has a rigid lug extending from it that
MUST be connected to a permanent earth ground, such as a properly grounded
receptacle box. THIS ADAPTER IS PROHIBITED IN CANADA.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the electrical receptacle in question is propedy
grounded. If you are not sure, have a certified electrician check the electrical
receptacle.
